(WND)—Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently warned that China poses an “imminent” threat to Taiwan and urged Asian allies to boost their defenses. The People’s Liberation Army is “rehearsing for the real deal,” said Hegseth at a security conference in Singapore.
For perspective on the dire prospects of war, WorldNetDaily interviewed national security expert and retired Army Lt. Col. Darin Gaub, who observed that experts have been talking about the “imminent” threat from China for many years. “I’m not discounting the possibility [of China invading Taiwan], but I’m also going to be realistic and say the Chinese military is not ready for that scale of conflict.”
Rather, said the former UH-60 Black Hawk pilot who spent time working strategic intelligence in the Pacific theater, the Chinese military’s “primary role is to police its own people, not necessarily invade foreign nations.”
While there is no formal treaty obligating the U.S. to defend Taiwan, there is enough legal basis through the Taiwan Relations Act for the U.S. to assist the small East Asian country against military threats from China. Thus, Gaub agreed, the U.S. would very likely support Taiwan’s efforts to deter the Chinese regime from the use of force to gain control of the archipelago.
And though some experts fear an escalation to World War III should America engage militarily, Gaub said, “We’re already in World War III.” The U.S., he explained, is long past concerns over an “imminent threat” from China, as America and most of the free world are already at war, minus any overtly hostile military action on the part of the Chinese Communist Party.
“The greater threat to the world than China invading Taiwan is the CCP ideology that’s been infiltrating our American institutions and international institutions for decades,” he argued. As stated in his book “Veritas Vincit: A Soldier’s Perspective on Truth, Faith, Family, and Freedom,” scheduled for release on June 15, “China continues to take over agencies and organizations within the United Nations to use them as a tool in their pursuit of global domination.”
In fact, Gaub told WND, “American universities, the United Nations and the World Health Organization are just a few examples of the different points of sustainability for Chinese infiltration” – which is to say, China has already thoroughly penetrated these key institutions and is influencing America and the world from these various battle fronts.
Indeed, the Chinese Communist Party’s infiltration of each of these entities has a real effect on local communities in America, asserted Gaub. “The threat from China is not a Chinese aircraft carrier rolling across the ocean to invade Taiwan; it’s the infestation of national and worldwide institutions that’s driving politicians and leaders of our communities to make bad decisions, whether they know it or not,” he said.
“It’s happening in local communities everywhere people live, because it’s all about control for the Chinese regime – and that’s the preeminent threat.”
